Stepson has a '94 2500 4x4 that had a wheel bearing go out. Is this a fairly straight forward replacement? Are there any special tool that I need? Which are the best replacement parts? All your help is greatly appreciated. Thanks

Kurt

 

Instructions are the same as for replacing the rotors> https://www.dieseltruckresource.com/...6&postcount=10

 

Big socket for the axle nut, case of beer, and penetrating oil. Can be a bear if the trucks been around salt, or they've been in a really long time. Paint the flange of the new one with anti seize, in case you have to change out the rotor at some later point. I sourced US made ones from carquest for under $100 each, FWIW.

 

Thanks for the help fellas. I had followed the instructions in the link and we were a success!!! Now he can do the other side himself . Socket size is a 1 11/16. What a pain to locate one of those on a Saturday morning!!!

 

and they still work?
Most folks who have gone for the cheap unit bearings report that if they weren't broken brand new in the box that they failed in less than 10,000 miles.

 

yeah, no kidding. I got the autozone ones, and less than 10k later, they were both shot. it might have only been about 5k.
